Ingredients

1 x 250 g tub low-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
250 g organic butter, at room temperature
2½ cups flour

Cream the cheese with the butter, then mix in the flour to form a soft dough.

Cook’s notes: Use this versatile pastry for quiches, savoury tarts, small turnovers and larger pie crusts or, for savoury biscuits, brush pastry cut-outs with egg and sprinkle with cheese and sesame seeds before baking.
